Help Crippled Children
The Easter seal campaign to be launch
ed here this week should have the support
of all the people. ,
The funds will be used to help crippled
children who cannot help themselves.
This means that the little sums spent for
Ela.ster seals will be the means of correct
ing physical defects in children and help
them to become able to lead normal lives
and to take their places in society along
with those who are not now handicapped
Those of us who have been privileged to
see what wonders can be wrought with
crippled and deformed children have no
hesitancy in endorsing anything to carry
on the work.
The lame have been enabled to walk and
physical deformities which drastically mar
the physical appearance of cl? Idren are
being corrected.
All this takes money and families of
many of the children do not have the
means and cannot rais§ the money to have
their children treated. In such cases the
sale of Easter seals serv’es its noble pur
pose.

Clean-Up Time
Soon thousands of American communi
ties will inaugurate their annual clean-up
campaign. Those campaigns give all towns
a chance to achieve two highly important
goals—a handsomer town, and a safer
town.
A properly managed clean-up drive to
lessen the ever-pre.sent danger of fire. Va
cant lots are mowed and divested of litter.
Old shacks are tom down. Buildings arc
repaired and painted. Dead trees and
bushes are cut down. And when that hap
pens, fire hazards disappear. Order and
cleanliness are among fire’s most effective
Industry Comes Tlurough
With the throttle wide open on a big de
fense program, it is imperative that this
country possess full informarion on the
fuel that stokes the indu.strial engine—the
so-called “strategic materials’’ of defense.
And it is certainly amazing to note that in
dustry, though wrapped up in day-to-day
problems of production, not so long ago
took ori for itself the added task of find
ing out all about this matter.
Through the National Association of
Manufacturers, industry has now complet

how the war has cut off or curtailed vital

the building-up of “stockpile” reserves, the
development of new domestic sources,
conservation of existing supplies, research

should prove of incalculable aid to the gov

Its immediate lesson, however, is imme

hesitation, has pitched in to make itself o
